THE Applus+ SOLUTION
Applus+ in Australia have designed and developed a variety of non-hydraulic, universal, automated inspection scanners to perform a variety of non-destructive testing (NDT) services subsea at depths of up to 2500m.
 
Our scanners produce inspection resolutions of 1.0mm on both X and Y axes. These Applus+ scanners also contain a platform that allows a number of inspection methods to be used, such as integrated cleaning, ultra-high resolution A, B and C-scans, time of flight, visual inspection, laser inspection, ACFM, or a combination of inspection tools through the use of custom-built NDT systems. All designs are light, easy and practical to install internally or externally either by diver or simple ROV hook-up with most ROV suppliers.
 
Above and beyond our existing off-the-shelf solutions, Applus+ custom builds a variety of subsea NDT scanners, consulting closely with the client from start the finish.

TARGET CUSTOMERS
Certain pipelines and assets need to be inspected while in operation so as to monitor the in-service performance of the welds and materials.
 
A typical example is the validation of intelligent pigging data. This inspection requires ultra-high resolution imaging of the underlying material for corrosion, material loss and pitting.
